Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

A few requests for PS Vita firmware 1.90

While I'm expecting sex-on-the-beach from firmware 2.0, Sony can have a little well-earned rest after the travails of getting 1.80 out to us. However, in between there should be a little 1.90 step up. And I'd like to make a couple of requests.

PSN download history list sort function: My list goes back to 2007, it is rather hard to find things in that long list, exacerbated by the Vita's silly costly memory card limitation and poor PC back up experience. So, its quicker just to re-download old stuff, if I can find it. Therefore, please add a sort function this list by format (PS One, PSP, PS3, Vita) and type (demo, game, DLC, other).

While Sony is at it, I have some games with dozens of bits of DLC (MotorStorm for example), so a Super Download All button would be really helpful.

A new start up sequence: I was really disappointed when I turned my Vita on for the first time. How dismal compared to PS1, PS2 and PSP it looked, and it'll never make it into those cool YouTube greatest start up lists.

When I turn it on from cold, I'd like a snazzy animation and couple of symphonic bars to remind me I'm in the world of PlayStation. It doesn't need to do it every time I hit the power button, just those odd total restarts. Also, I don't have epilepsy, so I'd like to turn that warning off please!

Those are my small ideas, but, what would you like to see in a monstrous 2.0 update?
